Hi, I was wondering if it is possible to change the select colour of files and folders in File Station in DSM 7.1.1? It is currently a very light blue colour which makes it very difficult to see and its been driving me nuts.

It is soo much better in QNAP QTS so might have to switch to QNAP if there is no solution.

Thanks in advance

HI
After watching a number of your very intuitive videos I have purchased a DS220+, after my WD Home Cloud collapsed, fortunately I managed to recover my data, mainly Photos & video. I have for the moment just ordered a Seagate IronWolf NAS hard drive and intend to purchase another in about a months time. My question is can I Just set up on one drive for now and get my data on it, which is on all sorts of media devices, as you can imagine after recovering nearly 2TB , and then add the second HardDrive at a later date. Can you recommend one of your Videos to help me set it up.

Many thanks

Steve Langford

Many thanks for

My main focus is video for the home theater using a shield or zidoo. And storing and sharing old photos/videos from my grandparents with my extended family. There is a lot. Not sure if 2 bay with 20tb or 4 bay with smaller drives whould be better. Or something else.

my aged Netgear ReadyNAS Duo (c2011) is probably near end of life. Main issue, no longer considered secure enough for Web control which makes management difficult. Also occasionally loses IP connection.
My big problem with any replacement is noise-level. It lives in the same study as main PC, and once I'd replaced the stock Netgear fan, it's been fine. Currently populated with 2 2TB WD Red drives. Seems very difficult to obtain noise-level ratings from manufacturers.
Main use is media - streaming music files and storing photos & documents. Shared between 2 Windows 10 PCs, also accessed by smart TVs, but doesn't get a lot of traffic.
Looking for a recommendation for QUIET replacement. Probably not enough budget to use SSDs rather than HDDs.

Hello, I have been following your channel for a while and I have since purchased a QNAP NAS TS453D. I have been using the iron wolf nas drives. I have just upgraded the drives from 6TB to 12TB as I am running out of space. But I have no idea on how to wipe my old NAS drives. I have been searching around the internet, but I don't think there is a definitive guide on it. Since you are the only channel/guide that I trust. I wish to ask you this for reference. I have all 4 of my drives configured in RAID 5 formation,but I have no idea how to wipe them clean after I switch to my new drives. Thank you for taking the time to read this.

Hi,

We have a requirement for NAS in our small 10 member CFA firm.

Our office has 1 iMac (used as a file server), 10 Mac Mini and 1 smb windows desktop. All the devices are connected to the network using LAN cables.

We are running out of storage on our iMac and require a NAS to replace it.

We have a very simple requirement of using the NAS to access files stored on it. The end user will open the file using the NAS, work on the file and save it.

We would be open to the possibility of accessing the NAS when at a client site but the security is a major concern for us (ransomware)

Our current data size is about 2.5 TB and it looks like it will grow. This will be our first NAS after horrible past experience with WD MyCloud and Seagate Black Armour when ransomware infected all our data

We are undecided between Synology or QNAP and also between a 2 bay or a 4 bay NAS. Need your help selecting a suitable NAS

Hello, I had a TS-451 OS Ver. 5.0.0.2131 (20220815).
I also had an external backup SSD drive.
My TS-451 died in October 2022. No longer boots up or posts. After researching it seems possible cause could be bad CPU batch from intel, but not sure.
I was going to upgrade to a NAS with M.2 but discovered, my son had removed my external backup drive and used it for school assignments. Wiped the whole drive. This my question is, what model can I buy with I can add my current 4 drives and has M.2 for future use.

I have a DS920 and DS1515+ on my personal home network, the DS1515+ is offsite. Due do several issues with power failures (on and off switch ?). I want to migrate the existing DS1515+ data to the new DS1522+ . My question is what options do I have to avoid any preventable problems considering the fact that I’m a novice. I have approximately a total of just 1 TB of data now to transfer.

1. Backup the data from the DS920+ to the new DS1522+(with new drives). All data ( laptop, pc and ipad) was backed up to the DS1515+ when the system was set up.

2. Migrate the drives to the the new NAS and use the 920 for the off site backup.

3. Am I missing the obvious?

Any suggestions?

Many Thanks,
Wm. Long

Hi
I live in a house and have a Synology RT6600ax and want to extend the WI-FI coverage.
I have Ethernet to all my rooms and want to add additional WI-FI access points. I can connect the additional access point to the Ethernet network.
Do I have any options for this or do I need to buy a Synology WRX560 for every additional access point?
